Generally, i determine the capability of an AV by installing it and scanning the PC.
If i've been running AVG 8 for a year and switched to Symantec corp, then it detected 10 virii AVG 8 hadn't detected then that's proof enough in my opinion.
AVG8 did score very low in the tests at AV Comparatives, but i was a little surprised that kaspersky scored that low.
That's something i find hard to beleive. Every other AV comparison i've seen prior to this has put KAV at #1 at 99.7% detection rate and Symantec at #2 with 97% roughly.
I find the results from AV-Comparatives hard to beleive, but it still gives the reader an idea of which ones to stay away from.
Hint hint, quit recommending AVG 8 :P
Any tech or computer savvy user worth their salt should have known AVG 8 has been crap for over 1-2 years.
